Next giveaway, etc. Have any input?

I did warn there would be a delay, but there has been more of one than I’d have liked.  I enjoy doing my giveaways back to back, but a break is okay.  Thank you for staying with me throughout this, I have only lost a few followers and I’m glad you guys have stuck around despite my lack of posts.  Besides the fact that I’ll be gone the next two days (Tom Petty concert!) I am planning to come back and start posting as I used to.  I miss doing it and I miss you guys as well.

Since I am still gathering items for both of the next giveaways, I’m going to take one more vote of which to do first.  You guys wanted the used/swatched giveaway last time I checked, so I want to make sure we’re still doing that first before I take pictures and gather everything to start.  Everything will be sanitized.  Nothing has been used that is a product such as mascara, it just is something I have opened and taken a picture of so I consider it not brand new.  The eye shadow/palettes have all been swatched, but I do not think any have actually been used on myself.  The other items I will have to go back and look at but I’m just trying to give you an idea of what I mean by used/swatched.  They are mostly just open items I’ve bought and swatched to make posts and I no longer feel I will use it and I’d like to give it to someone that will.  Again, I will sanitize it either way.

The other giveaway will be the next “normal” melissaphora one, with all new products.  I have rounded up probably half or more of those, but I’d like to get a few more if you have any suggestions feel free to leave them here.  

I am considering putting a full new tube of the lash serum I’ve been using (that has worked amazingly) in it.  I’m not sure yet but I may.  

I’d like any comments, questions, suggestions you have on the giveaways, which to do first, etc.  Or my blog of course, anything you have to say I would love to hear.

I hope you all are well.

Next giveaway, which do you want first?

Vote: next giveaway, should it be the “melissaphora slighty used/swatched items giveaway” (sanitized) or the next “melissaphora giveaway #6” (I believe we are on 6! and it’d be usual with all new items) So what do you all think?

I’m doing both regardless, but I want to decide which to do next/first by your opinions. Majority rules.

Also, still on the hunt for my misplaced camera but I am borrowing my moms to take photos, I have to re take a ton though.  I’ll get up what I can.  Bear with me please, lots of personal things have been happening (personal message me un anon if you’d like more info, i don’t mind but i’d like it personal to personal) so I’m doing my best.

I am NOT leaving nor stopping the blog/giveaways.  I plan to start the next giveaway next week/weekend.

Thanks guys, really appreciate you all.  Send me an ask if you have any questions/comments and I’ll get back to you ASAP.

(edit)

The winner has responded and I will be shipping it off to her shortly.  :)

Thank you all again for your participation.

Next giveaway in 2 weeks or less!

(baby shower this weekend!  5 more weeks to go!)

Proof:

Giveaway.

Will soon be over, just wanted to re remind you all that the widget is at the bottom of my page for those that usually just look at me from your dash.

I do plan on starting one after per usual but I’m going to take about 2 weeks to do so because I’m planning and hosting my sister’s baby shower next weekend so I need to focus on that.  I’ll get the items together for the next giveaway as soon as I can in between and after that though.

If you have any suggestions for it send me an ask please.  Thank you.

A quick “look” I did with lovely Sugarpill pigments received from http://melissaphora.tumblr.com/ they go on so well — I think I’m in love! 

So beautiful too.  Love the look.  :)

Giveaway rules reminder.

There are a few of you that are reblogging the giveaway post many, many times.  I just would like to redirect you to read the rules of that post and all.  I generally try to personally send an ask to the person letting them know they are disqualifying themselves, etc. but there are now a few people doing it quite a lot so I just wanted to put a quick post out there to remind you guys.  :)

XO

Just a quick note to you all.

I started my first giveaway with less than 30 followers.  I’ve done back to back giveaways since my first, which was pretty directly after creating this blog.  I enjoy doing them for a few reasons, but I just wanted to say I really appreciate you all + your support.  All of you new followers, and the first 30 and the ones that I’ve chatted with through asks.  Looking at the entries and reading your answers to the question/s makes me smile, I enjoy interacting with you all and knowing what you like and what you’re excited for, what you want to see.

So thank you all for being here.

XO

Reminder: Giveaway is going on.

Just use the widget at the bottom of my page.

Melissaphora Giveaway #4.

This time I am using rafflecopter instead of just reblogging the post.  To enter, you can find the information at the bottom of my tumblr in the rafflecopter widget.  I know that this may be confusing for some so please feel free to send me an ask if you have any questions.  But that is how you enter this time, with the widget at the end of my page.

To see the items in the giveaway, please click here.  I will edit in a few pictures of the items soon, but until then, that post has every item in the giveaway, so please check it out.

The rules are as per usual,

 I hope you enjoy, and good luck on winning.  If you’re going to enter, please read the bullet points as they’re important.

• This will last one month, beginning 3/9/12 and ending 4/9/12.
• To enter,  use the widget at the end of my tumblr page.
• You can only use one tumblr account per person to enter.  If you win and are found to have been using secondary’s to enter as well, you will be disqualified.  
• You can reblog once a day, which equals up to 30 total entries if you reblog once everyday.
• There are also other ways to get entries, and the widget will show you them.
• Please be comfortable giving me your address if you enter, and if you are under age make sure it is okay with your parent/guardians.
• I will ship anywhere, to anyone.

Again, don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions.

Melissaphora Giveaway #4- Breakdown.

First, EYES:

1.  

Wet n Wild Smokey eye like trio.  This comes in soft plastic packaging which I put in plastic baggies.  I know these trios break easy in regular hard plastic so you may want to be careful de potting or anything.

2.

Swatched once by me, I’m hoping to add this in for good use.  Its pigmented and nice, I just don’t like the applicator.

3.

I love teals, and these are awesome trios/quads so I thought I’d share.  :)

NAILS/HANDS

4.

I’ve never used this, but it is supposed to be color changing!

5.

Wet n Wild red nail polish.  Mini sized.  Red just doesn’t look well on me and I figured it may on you.  :)

6.

Tokidoki buffer.  Isn’t it cute. :)

7.

Hand lotion.  Smells good.  :)

8.

I don’t know about you but I’m a sanitizing freak at times, and I hate the smell of regular, so here is a vanilla! 

FACE:

9.

As you know if you’ve followed me for a while, these are my favorite.  I wanted to buy a mini pack to share with you to let you see if you like them as much as I.

10.

This came as a free gift with my Smart Lash purchase from the Dermstore.  It hasn’t been opened (the actual product) only the box to take pictures.  It is full sized and worth $25.

11.

As with the first product, a blush from wet n wild.

12.

You all voted between this and mountain dew, so nerds it is!  Yum.  

13.

Strawberry Champagne Lip gloss…just sounds lovely doesn’t it  haha.  :)

14.

I received this as a sample in my last birchbox and I don’t see myself using it so I’d like it to go someone that will.  I know Jouer to be a good brand.

15.

Same as above, but glam bag.  I’m not too keen on many face masks.  But these can be fun and nice.

HAIR:

16.

These are my favorite hair bands (besides ones I’ll be doing a review on soon) They have no metal on them so no tugging.  I always like having a bunch around.

SAMPLES:

17.

I was excited for this sample, but I don’t think I’ll use it so I wanted to pass it on.

18.

Same with this.  :)

19-20.

I was going to give one of these to my mom but then I thought well hey they match so why not put them both together in the giveaway?

21.

Also came as a free sample with the dermstore order.

22.

And another free sample in the dermstore order I want to pass on so it’ll be used.  :)

23. 

I added this on at the end, I love teal and why not throw in an eye liner?

It is Jordana and in turquoise.  

If you have any questions please let me know.  To enter in this giveaway, please use the rafflecopter widget found at the bottom of my tumblr.

XO

Okay, the giveaway has I suppose started since I did include the widget onto my page now.

I have the breakdown post 4/5 ready so that’ll be up soon, and the official post will too.

I was trying to figure out where to put it on my page and decided to go ahead and start it, so yes you can begin enterting if you want, or wait until the things are up, your choice.  They will be up soon.  The rafflecopter widget and where you enter is located at the bottom of my tumblr.

And the winner of the giveaway is,

camel-t0e, congratulations!  I’ll be contacting you right now and you have 24 hours to get back to me before I pick another winner.

Thank you all for participating, the next giveaway will be starting tomorrow or the next day + will be using a new method to enter, rafflecopter.  So please stay tuned and good luck for that.

XO

Giveaway/s.

I’ll be ending the giveaway tonight- probably around 7-8pm (eastern).  So you all have your one last entry/reblog of today if you haven’t used it yet.

I’m starting the next giveaway pretty quickly after, I have everything all together and set so it’ll flow into it smoothly.

Remember you have 24 hours to contact me back (the winner) or I pick another.

I’ll be sending out the package tomorrow, or the day after depending.

XO

edit- just did the (melissaphora giveaway #4- breakdown) post and there are 22 items.  i’m running to the drugstore so i’m gonna see if i can pick up one more, otherwise i think we may be good to go. 

Conclusions:

Still un sure about naked/naked2 but that myself not you all, you helped a lot and i’m still looking for your reasoning on which is better and why if you have it to throw at me.

Giveaway ends tomorrow, next one will start a day later w/rafflecopter.

The nerds chapstick instead of the mountain dew will be in the next giveaway.

I will be putting the NYX shimmer roller ball in the next giveway.
